Stop The Killing & Start Living...

That's the theme of an event planned for this week. It's so heavy to me that we have to preach this to anyone. To me there's only one choice in that command. However, that's not the case for everyone. It would be so easy to place blame, but the truth is there are a myriad of reasons why this is happening in the first place. I really hope that the outreach ministry organization is able to really begin to break through and get to some of the young minds they're trying to reach. There is a huge world beyond the communities we live in...it's such a shame when one doesn't get to experience any of it because their lives and futures are taken way too soon!

I agree with you Shay Memphians need to stop the killing and start living. From your lips to God's ears.

Unfortunately there are so many issues wrapped up in this issue. I am hoping and praying for your success, but please be careful.

Our problem in the African American Community is that we need more converts to the gospel of personal responsibility. We've got way too many improperly raised children, the product of parents that are way too young in many cases. Our grandparents are tired and over burdened.

Seventy percent of black babies are born out of wedlock. The percentage of African American young men in college verses the percentage in prison are sadly getting closer and closer. Abortion is the number one killer of African Americans.

This ministry is trying, but most of the folks who need to be there won't be. Most of the ears who need to be listening won't be, instead they'll be listening to the newest fad in gangsta rap.

Personal responsibility, lack of morality, and the constant injection of our brains with filth, coupled with an entitlement mentality and government dependence, yield the sum of the current addition equation.

What can I say? Well, each one teach one. It did not get like this overnight, and it won't get better overnight.

God bless this effort but it is only a drop in the bucket. We need to organize Civil Rights Era style and march on the ghettos. We need to start cooperating with law enforcement and get rid of the vermin contaminating our neighborhoods, those disgraces to the race.

This comment is way too long and should instead be a blog entry.

My apologies, Shay.

Shay Harris comes to sunny Florida years after her first family trip to Disney World, only to find a sprawling city that's still growing. Before arriving in Orlando, Shay spent almost three years in Memphis, Tennessee. Shay worked as a Reporter and Fill-in Anchor while in the Bluff City. In Memphis, Shay got to experience every kind of story possible; she was one of the first reporters to cover the nationally publicized story of "The Pastor's Wife", a slaying in Selmer, TN that took the networks by storm for weeks. She also experienced, first hand, the devastation left by deadly twisters in Tennessee and Arkansas. What Shay really enjoyed digging her chops into were exclusive stories of intrigue like how dead people "voted" in major elections... and other stories of mischief in city, county, and state government, stories like, The Tennessee Waltz scandal, as well as the kidnapping of a teenaged girl who escaped from the house of her captor where police returned to find drugs & child pornography among other things. Shay spent two years in Chattanooga, TN as an Anchor and Producer of the news and talk show, "News for Women". She also made stops in Jackson, TN & Beaumont, TX. From time to time you may catch appearances of Shay guest starring on the nationally syndicated shows "The Parkers" and "The Steve Harvey Show". While living in Los Angeles, she spent a year as the Project Director for Los Angeles County's largest Homeless Facility, "People Assisting the Homeless", some of Shay's most rewarding work. Shay is a lover of inspirational & empowerment books, in fact she has some literary works in progress of her own. She enjoys opportunities to play in charity softball games for the Boys & Girls Club, reading to & mentoring young children, speaking at empowerment functions that benefit women, singing at civic & social events and doing whatever it takes to uplift the community in which she lives. Shay enjoys watching movies, going to sporting events, cooking and those few rare moments to relax at home.
